Just come to the market is possibly one of the most unusual opportunities to be able to farm and run a business that has come to the Westcountry farm market for many years. On offer through Luscombe Maye of South Brent (01364 646184) in conjunction with Savills (01392 455749), is the opportunity to purchase the residual 37 years of a farm business tenancy at Crocadon Farm, St. Mellion. The farm which wraps itself around village, internationally renowned for its golf course which is just a stone’s throw away from the farm and the main farm drive leads off the busy “A388” road from Plymouth via Callington to Launceston.

Crocadon forms part of The Pentillie Estate, famous for its Castle, magnificent setting and renowned shoot.

Within the lease is the opportunity to enjoy a superbly and lovingly renovated 6 bedroomed, 4 bathroom farmhouse set in an idyllic situation with traditional stone buildings surrounding. A short walk away is a partially converted traditional stone courtyard which has both planning and landlord’s approval for retail and office use and the former modern farm buildings have been converted into a highly successful sawmilling and timber business.

The Farm is the home of The Crocadon Producer Fairs which in 2014 won the prestigious Taste of the West Gold Award.

Throughout the winter months these weekend fairs are run on a fortnightly basis and are home to many local traders selling all types of home produced food, drinks and crafts.

The farm, which extends to 122 acres has been organically run for a number of years with the occupier producing beef and vegetables for Riverford Farms.

The value of this tenancy is secured to a degree by the tenant’s improvements which is the value of investment that the current tenant has invested into the holding over the past fourteen years.

For any entrepreneur seeking the opportunity to run a very diversified business in a lovely setting with a significant passing trade and having farming in the blood, then the purchase of the lease of Crocadon Farm creates such a unique opportunity.
